For those of you who could use a little non-ERISA humor for the day, just read this order from Federal District Judge Sam Sparks who had this to say to some lawyers involved in a case before the court:
When the undersigned accepted the appointment from the President of the United States of the posiition now held, he was ready to face the daily practice of law in federal courts with presumably competent lawyers. No one warned the undersigned that in many instances his responsibility would be the same as a person who supervised kindergarten. . . The Court simply wants to scream to these lawyers, “Get a life” or “Do you have any other cases?” or “When is the last time you registered for anger management classes?”
(From David Giacalone)
